Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1C (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The test article was considered to be a severe dermal irritant at both 4 and 24 hour exposures. Necrosis of the skin at each application site was observed at the 24, 48 and 72 hour observation periods and on Days 4 through 14. The study was terminated following the Day 14 observation period. (Primary Irritation Index, according to Draize = 7.92, modified Primary Irritation Index = 8.00). Based on these results and according to the criteria laid down in the CLP Regulation, the substance is considered classified as corrosive to the skin category 1C.
